Participant[quote=meadandale]If it was unsuitable for the 3G it shouldn’t have been offered as an upgrade for me in itunes. It’s not like I went out of my way to install this. Itunes prompted me “there is an upgrade available for YOUR phone…”[/quote]
Well, it still works. Just a little slow, as to be expected. You certainly had the option to not install it. I know that I personally research any new software that is “pushed” to me before installing it because I like to know what’s being installed on my devices.
I’m not volunteering to be the Apple apologist on this board, it just seems that peoples’ expectations of technology don’t seem to match up with the reality these days. The average lifespan of a cell phone is 14 months. The 3G was released in July of 2008, so you’re now at 24 months. It is unrealistic to expect that software released last month will run quickly on a device that is two years old. Two years is ancient technology in the mobile space, and in two years we’ll all probably be complaining about how slow iOS5 runs on our iPhone 4’s.

ParticipantTo followup, I bought the Soleus Air LX-100 from Newegg for super cheap ($299), and it seems to work well. It has a dual-hose system (intake/exhaust). It’s a bit large but manageable. Impressed so far, but lets see how it works once we get rid of this July gloom and temps hit the 90s.

I’ve had an iphone 3G for almost 2 years. I’ve been very happy with it. However, the 4.0 OS upgrade completely destroyed my phone. It’s slow as crap now doing ANYTHING and there is no easy way to downgrade to the old OS. Thanks for sucking Apple and actually testing this out.[/quote]I also have a 3G and am disappointed in the performance of 4.0 on the device. However, I also have no illusions that new software should continue to work on old hardware. The 3GS is over two years old. Do you also expect Snow Leopard to run on your G3 Powerbook? Do you expect Android Froyo to run on your HTC Dream?
You have to have realistic expectations of technology. The mobile space moves 10 times faster than standard platforms, and your expectations of performance on old devices should be adjusted accordingly.
Not to mention, 3.0 sucked on the 3G as well… Give them a few point releases to iron out the kinks… Not that I think 4.0 will run as smoothly as 3.0 on the 3G.

ParticipantOr maybe American men prefer immigrant women because they don’t take their opportunities in this country for granted. I speak from experience.
